I was recently doing my obligatory newspaper reading (ok, you caught me, I was looking at my Twitter feed) when I stumbled upon an article on primers. So, here's something: I never actually used primers on a daily basis until about a year or two ago. I received a sample of Make Up For Ever HD Microperfecting Primer from Sephora and all of a sudden I started noticing how much longer...

It should come as no surprise to you that when it comes to beauty, I look for the easiest possible way to do things. I like my fashion and beauty quick and simple, especially in the mornings because (like many of you, I am sure) I like my sleep more than anything else.

Jessica Biel and I have a complicated relationship. For starters, she married my middle school crush so right off the bat, I kind of hate her. 

Secondly, I still haven't moved on from her Seventh Heaven days. All I can see when I look at her is that troublesome teenager named Mary. Which is why I had such a hard time seeing how she could pull off anything more fashion forward than jeans...

The holidays are a great time to stock up or add to your polish collection because many brands come out with limited editions or value sets (read: great bargain!). We're specifically loving the deep, jewel tones for winter...

Normally, when you hear the words 'holiday' and 'cocktail' together, it's usually after words like Irish cream or eggnog. It's not often that you hear beer and holiday cocktail together in the same sentence. Beer isn't a traditional cocktail ingredient at all. So imagine my surprise when I tasted one at...

I love giving homemade gifts. A thoughtful gift that you've made yourself is so sweet! However, DIY'ing for an entire list of people can be tiring and can get costly. I found an easy gift for the holidays that takes just a few minutes to put together and can be done up with a few accessories to make cute packaging. 

Here are the steps to creating a homemade tea for a DIY gift! I am...
